Los Angeles Lakers fans are beyond excited after netting Russell Westbrook via trade, and for good reason. Pairing one former MVP with another seems like a no-brainer move to win a title.

The Philadelphia 76ers added two players to their roster whom they believe will boost their chances to make a deeper playoff run and raise the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
